Multimedia Performances for Pragmatic Tourism

Audiovisual and digital techniques are becoming the main resources in everyday life, and interdisciplinary transformation of tourism promotion and animation has already been applied in modem tourism. Tourism offers and services should be complete, current, and qualitative through all phases of the planning process, starting from preparation to implementation. The modem tourist offer of services involves production of multivalorized natural, anthropogenic, communicative, and receptive values of a particular facility or geographic area as a tourist destination target. The tourist or client should experience complete ＂tour-retour＂, or as stated in the tourism ＂I came, saw, took, in order to come back again＂, through all the stages, from the preparation of the travel, the stay, up to the departure. Tourism, in the near future, or the tourist dialectical development in order to be completely realized, must pass through the so-called tourist triad from audiovisual or real, to virtual or imagined and to virtuous or perfect. In that case, an ecstasy of admiration, enhancement, prowess, joy, pleasure, excitement, success, and happiness will cause tourists to visit the place again. In order to experience the previously mentioned states, arrangement from professionals, tourist managers, and animators from various areas is of great importance.

Animator＇s Roles in Enriching the Content of Tourist Stay

For successful animation of visitors, animators must perform very complex, demanding, and dynamic tasks. Professional performance of tasks implies the need for an animator to be a complete person. This means that he/she not only must have a sound education, but also have to be specialized for certain activities. There are different types of animators so that their diversity mirrors the success of the hotel. Animators must have certain basic physical and psychological characteristics. So, despite the knowledge and experience, animators must have inherent characteristics such as talent, humour, to be friendliness, and so on. Sense of humour and ability to work with people are two important characteristics of a successful animator. Many hotels need animators who can entertain tourists and make their stay memorable resort experience, which will be a reason for return of tourists. One of the key factors for tourism success is animator. Today, the whole tourism sector is based on animation of the tourists. The purpose of this paper is to show the role of the animator in enriching the content of tourist stay. To successfully execute the animation to the tourists, animators must meet certain characteristics which will be analysed in this paper. In this research will be used methods of analysis of scientific literature on the impact of animation on enrichment of tourist stay. The research stems from the fact that animation is one of the most important animation-motivational factors for the development of tourism.

The Sports-Recreational Animation as a Factor for Tourism Development

Sports and tourism activities act together. So today, sports tourism is undoubtedly one of the most important industries characterized by ever increasing profits, almost without experiencing any shocks and repercussions of the global economic crisis. Tourist agencies, touristic facilities, and touristic places are trying in every way to animate tourists with some sports. Sport is fun for everyone. Modem hotels have pools, golf courses, playgrounds, gyms, etc., in order for tourists to do sports and to have fun. On the other side, tourist agencies organize visits to some （important） sports events for visitors to ride and to have fun. Hence, the objective of the sport is to animate the tourists. For example, the Olympic Games is a world most famous sports event where a lot of money is spent in order for visitors, who came for that event only to enjoy from all over the world, to have fun. Apparently, there is a link between sport and animation in tourism, and it is necessary to make investments in sport if we want to put more fun in tourism. Although tourism is not a sport branch, it covers many sporting activities （sports recreation, sports events, etc.）. It can be concluded that tourism and sport are interrelated phenomena.
